Château de Garraube

Discover the property of Château de Garraube

At the end of a 1.7 km long private road, you will discover this luminous chartreuse, with its warm ochre tones.
The park is embellished with a large natural pool, a real “organic” swimming pool fed by the pure waters of upstream springs. The flowered vegetable garden is below the terraces, then extends the meadow where the film Jappeloup was shot (with Daniel Auteuil, Guillaume Canet, Marina Hans and Jacques Higelin).
Returning to the castle gate, on the left of the sandy courtyard, the outbuildings are spread around a magnificent covered hall and the stable stalls that once housed the horses and carriages of the estate.
Everywhere you look, you are at home, in a nature reserve with thousands of birds, butterflies, wild animals, millions of square meters of preserved nature just for you, with, among other wonderful surprises for children, a little train with its locomotive and its carriage!

Principal living and reception rooms

Inside, the Chateau de Garraube deserves its name of “Chartreuse Périgourdine ” because everything is natural and simple harmony. Since its construction around 1650 by Jean Valleton de Boissière, the castle has been the subject of enlargements and progressive embellishments, but always inspired by a trademark where good taste meets a certain sobriety far from the splendor of the baroque. This simplicity of good taste inspires the decoration of each of the living rooms and of all the bedrooms with their large windows open to the light, the birds and nature. The entrance, a large paved hall, leads to a library with warm woodwork, then to an elegant dining room with 18th century paintings and a large almond green living room decorated with antique family furniture and opening onto a terrace.

Our bedrooms

Here you wake up to the birdsong, you open your windows to the flowery garden. The castle’s bathrooms are fed by springs (there are no less than 18 springs and a lake on the property). You have your breakfast in the kitchen overlooking the alley of dahlias that overlooks the colorful flower garden. You will enjoy the discreet luxury and classicism of this bright and sunny charterhouse, and the calm of a chateau isolated in its grounds. The chateau has 10 rooms available for rent, including a master bedroom on the first floor and its bathroom. You can comfortably accommodate 15 people in the main building. In the outbuildings overlooking the courtyard, you can accommodate 3 additional people.

Guest house

What also characterizes Garraube are its outbuildings. They evoke well what could be, in the XVIIIth and XIXth, a large landed property living self sufficiently, with its farms and tenant farms, its mill, its fishpond, its lime kiln, its wine press, its covered market, the nearby forest which produced wood for carpentry and frame, charcoal, sandstone paving stones… In the outbuildings overlooking the courtyard, you have at your disposal 2 bedrooms (one double and one single) and a bathroom. They can accommodate 3 people.

A reception can be organized under the magnificent covered hall. Renting Chateau de Garraube is offering moments of happiness to those you love!
